The World At War S01E11

Part 5 June 6, 2022, 8:33 a.m.

Soviet aircraft took off at dawn to wreck
the German bombers waiting on their airfields.
德国人按时间表发动了进攻
The Germans kept to the timetable.
7月5日早晨,德国装甲师向前开动
On the morning of July 5,
the panzer divisions moved forward.
库尔斯克会战是历史上最大的坦克战
Kursk was the biggest tank battle
in history.
在北部,德国的钳形攻势在5天里
前进了10英里,并停了下来,
ln the north, the German pincer
made ten miles in five days, and halted,
损失为50,000人阵亡
400辆坦克被摧毁
with 50,000 dead
and 400 tanks destroyed.
在南部,在一场甚至更巨大的战斗中,
ln the south, in an even vaster battle,
俄♥国♥人的防线被冲出一个20英里的缺口,
a 20-mile dent
was made in the Russian defences,
但德国人也消耗殆尽
but the Germans were spent.
7月15日,希♥特♥勒♥取消了库尔斯克攻势
On July 15,Hitler called
off the Kursk offensive.
红军♥转♥过来进攻
The Red Army went over to the attack.
顶着轰炸,工兵突前在德国防线中清出一条通道
Under bombardment,the sappers went ahead
to cut a path into the German defences.
穿过这个缺口,坦克向前猛冲,
Through the gap,
the tanks plunged forward,
步兵骑在它们的两侧
the troops riding on their sides.
这些是新的俄♥国♥士兵,
These were the new Russian soldiers,
同1941年被击败的大批部队完全不同
very different
from the defeated masses of 1941.
他们的衣服很破旧,
但他们的武器很干净
Their clothes were shabby,
but their weapons were clean.
他们很剽悍,追得敌人只能进行近身战斗
They were tough, chasing the enemy
into close-quarter battle.
他们足智多谋,
They were resourceful,
被训练成可以就地取食
并能靠他们自己渡河
trained to live off the land
and to cross rivers on their own.
如果没有船,一条板凳或
一根圆木也能凑合(渡河)
lf there was no boat,
a bench or a log would do.
他们没有固定休假或军饷,
They went without regular leave or pay,
但现在他们的士气激烈而高昂
but now their morale
was fierce and high.
从军事上来说,是库尔斯克战役
决定了欧洲战事会如何结束
ln military terms, it was Kursk which
decided how the European war would end.
当这次德国人最大的努力失败后,
苏联人的胜利开始了
When this supreme German effort failed,
the Soviet victory began.
突破德国阵地的战斗艰难而又缓慢,
The fighting to break through
German positions was hard and slow,
但9天后红军已夺回在这次
最近的德国攻势中失去的土地
but after nine days the Red Army had recaptured
all the ground lost in this last German offensive.
德国人开始撤退,一路上摧毁一切
The Germans began to fall back,
destroying everything as they went.
现在他们处于苏联战斗机的不断攻击之下
Now they were under constant attack
by Soviet fighters.
德国空军已失去了制空权
The Luftwaffe
had lost command of the air.
突然,被占领的俄♥国♥里的城镇
塞满了向西移♥动♥的装甲车辆
Suddenly, the towns of occupied Russia
were full of armour moving west.
两年后,征服者正在退出俄♥国♥
After two years,
the conquerors were pulling out.
在列♥宁♥格勒,德国人仍然在郊外,
At Leningrad,the Germans
were still at the outskirts,
城市仍然处于炮火之下
the city still under shellfire.
包围一直要到下一年(1944年)
的1月才最终被打破
The siege was not to be finally broken
until January the following year.
